At MDHPIC, we understand that at times owners need to rehome their horses. We also believe firmly in the responsibility that all horse owners have to ensure the safety of their horses, both while in their care and when being rehomed. 

All across the country there are many horse rescue organizations where owners can surrender their horses. If you are looking to rehome your horse, spend considerable time and effort contacting the various horse rescue  organization directly to make inquiries. We do not facilitate any rehoming with these rescues. We are also not able to guarantee that any of them will be able to accommodate your horse. 

Please contact the rescue organization directly to make inquiries.
